Sinks, baths, toilets, and external downpipes. Professional high-pressure and snake equipment. Diagnosis before action. The plumber's first step is to figure out where the blockage is. There's no point pushing a snake blindly if the blockage is two floors down. For this, we use an inspection endoscope camera, a thin camera mounted on flexible cable that travels through the pipe and shows the exact location and nature of the blockage on screen. Hair, grease, plant roots, foreign object, old construction debris. For superficial blockages in sinks or basins, a cheap manual drain snake from a hardware store and half an hour of patience are usually enough. If the water starts to move, keep going. If after 30-45 minutes it's still stagnant, call us. Persisting only makes the situation worse by pushing the plug further down.

The most complex case is a blockage in a downpipe. The downpipe is the vertical pipe that collects wastewater from several floors in the same building. When it gets blocked, it usually affects multiple neighbours at once. This is where the high-pressure machine comes in, capable of blasting water at 150 bar and clearing everything. It's the most effective but also the most delicate equipment. If the pipe has cracks or weak joints, the pressure can worsen things. For blocked toilets, the classic plunger only works if the blockage is superficial. When the blockage is deeper, in the toilet's internal trap or the first bend of the downpipe, you need a professional snake or a small rotary machine. It's worth knowing this because many people end up removing the entire toilet thinking it's the only way. It's actually the last resort. For downpipes and multiple blockages (more than one bathroom affected, water rising in one when you use another), always call a plumber. It's a common installation problem that requires professional tools and often coordination with neighbours.
